In WHM, under "Generate a SSL Certificate and Signing Request", you are asked to enter in various information for your certificate, as well as a password. There is the new AJAX password creator, for your password generation pleasure.

HOWEVER, by default, the password generator creates complicated passwords including letters, numbers and SYMBOLS.

I attempted to use the password it generated, 7B5T#|Wn!Na9, but GeoTrust rejected the CSR, saying "CSR contains unsupported extensions".

Of course, it took me a while to realize what was going on.

I generated a new SSL CSR, but used my own password with no symbols, and it worked great.

I don't know which symbols it has a problem with. But now you know...
